Description From Owner:
  • 5 mi W of Mount Stewart in Lot 36. Selected for P.O. name 1882-1913; not named for any particular person, place or thing according to the postmaster in 1905.
  • Formerly called Tracadie Sand Hills and Glenaladale. Also P.O. Blooming Point North 1907-1913. Meacham 1880 shows Bedford as the school district.
  • The PEI National Park map identifies the sand hills but there would appear to be no basis for this in local usage.
  • The name Blooming Point was noted in the Island Argus in 1876. In summer the dunes are blanketed by wild roses and lichens; hence the name.
  • With permission from 'Prince Edward Island Place Names' David E. Scott 2011
